I assume you're joking but I'll explain it anyway, maybe someone who reads it learns something new.

On Hanukkah, we light the Menorah each evening after sunset for 8 days. On the first evening (today) we lit 1 candle plus the central one called the Shamash. Tomorrow we'll light two, then three and so on, until the final day when we light 8 candles plus the Shamash so the menorah is all lit.

That's very interesting.

Can you tell me a little bit about the festivities, as in what goes on in your part of the world?

I know about Hanukkah and can Google pretty much everything else.

But I love festivals and hearing firsthand from a person celebrating something about their culture and the festivities surrounding them almost always makes me extremely happy.

I wouldn't call it a festival. People often host friends and family for it, but it's eventually a series of oily buffet dinners to celebrate something that did or didn't happen 2000 years ago.

Candles are fun, so is oily food. Not much between the lines here unfortunately.

Where do the presents go?

They cut my tip so I don't get a present, I light candles.

It's happening now? Interesting. What are the dates usually? You have different calendar, no? Dates fixed or moving (buddhists in Lanka had moving dates for holidays, some priests were preparing these calendars, I guess, idk)?

It moves compared to the Gregorian calendar but It's always around December.
Started on the 14th and will end on the 22nd.
